YES! I had a similar experience the other day. Was in stop-and-go traffic in rush hour doing the typical second gear roll. I had a good car length or so in front of me and the jackass on the right decides to dive in front of me because his lane isn't moving (mine isn't either!) and the person in front slammed on brakes, he does, I have to now and yeah.

I honestly though I tapped the guy that dove into my lane, the car just stopped too fast without any recoil or anything. I was thinking there was no way, I didn't hear a noise but it was just too sudden of a stop. I got out and looked, still had half a foot of distance, love them brakes!

It could have been way worse if i wouldnt have braked, as in him actually hitting me and putting me in the hospital. Im Very Thankful.
Good to hear you're safe! One can never be too careful at the lights.

Gonna talk to the GM at the used toyota beaman lot where i got the car and just ask him about putting a five axis body kit on it since the bumper is definitely trash.

Now your FR-S looks like it's smiling with some chipped teeth!

Do you mean the Hockey Player's smile? Eh?
